I wish Texas would secede. It bothers me that they have the same voting rights down there as we do in NY.

Funny we think the same thing about you guys in NY...you elected Hillary Clinton after all. At least we didn't do anything that ignorant.

Short-term memory, huh? You elected a guy to the office of governor who is a bigger moran than Dan Quayle...

She is a relative of the Queen of crumpets. No surprise about her let-them-eat-cake attitude.

Out of context? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I think a key part of what she said is this:

"What I'm hearing which is sort of scary is that they all want to stay in Texas. Everybody is so overwhelmed by the hospitality."

She thinks too many of these 'refugees' want to stay in Texas, God forbid (we all know everyone with any sense wants to live in Houston [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]). This implication that these displaced people, would rather be in Texas than back in their home city of New Orleans, with their jobs, possessions, family, etc. intact is nasty.

The most important word, for me, is 'scary.' What is 'scary' about it? I think a lot of folks know what she means, it is a bit akin to her sons dropping code words during the campaign designed to send a message to the religious right. And it isn't that hard to decode [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

"and his comment about his friend building a bigger home wasnt to flaunt money...it was to give HOPE to a better situation after this crisis - to give them something to look foward to - to give others the enthusiasm to build bigger and better when they can - that things will get better, etc. come on now!!!

Yeah, Trent Lott, with a racist history to be proud of, building even a bigger home than the one damaged by the storm, with a better porch for W to plop his lazy feet up on, will warm the hearts and motivate everyone ruined by the storm to cheer that better times are ahead [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Could you be more naive? Nah, probably not.

I read a few of the posts(not all 124+) and I didn't see anyone one ask for the context in which the quote was taken. What a bunch of losers.
